EHMA EVENT The European Hotel Managers’ Association (EHMA) held their annual General Meeting, at the Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin in Amsterdam, from 17th-19th March; with Diversey Care once again the event’s exclusive partner for cleaning and hygiene.

Diversey Care has been a partner of the event since 2011, and is also the official sponsor of the ‘EHMA Sustainability Award by Diversey Care.’ This award acknowledges managers who have implemented new and innovative projects, while also transforming the conventional
Pleased Participants “ISSA/INTERCLEAN Latin America 2017 was a great success for us,” said Eduardo Casas, General Manager of Cepillos El Castor. “We had good booth traffic and received people from Brazil, Venezuela, Chile, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica.

understanding of sustainability in their hotel.
This year’s winner, presented by Diversey Care’s President Dr. Ilham Kadri, was Andreas Georgiou - General Manager of the Amathus Beach Hotel in Limassol, Cyprus. Mr Georgiou received the accolade for driving the implementation of a number of energy reduction projects; in particular, the hotel’s advanced central geo-exchange and heat recovery system derived from seawater. These projects have actively engaged and benefitted guests, employees and the local community alike.
As well as providing the hotel with energy, the system also uses the desalinated sea water to irrigate the hotel gardens— saving some 400 tonnes of fresh water, which is a scarce resource in the country. Other benefits, apart from considerable cost savings, include the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 1,200 tonnes.
Dr Kadri was unreserved in her praise of the award winner. She said: “Amathus is such an inspirational project. The project itself could be seen as an example of best practice for all sea resorts in the world, with a
"We were able to generate 250 new leads, all with challenges and needs that our products can address,” said Neil Davila, General Director, GES & TLC. “This is our first time participating, and we are very happy with the results of our efforts. Thanks to ISSA for organising this exhibition and bringing all the important people in the industry together for this event. We hope to participate in September at the ISSA/INTERCLEAN North America 2017 trade show in Las Vegas, NV, and to maximise our presence at these events.”
With the success of ISSA/ INTERCLEAN Latin America 2017, ISSA and Amsterdam RAI look forward to more events that promote education, collaboration, and connections for the cleaning industry in the region.

potentially massive positive impact on a key issue: water scarcity. We all have a role to play in making this world a better place to live, and we can all be entrepreneurs of change. Amathus is a great example of that.”
Across the three-day event, Dr. Kadri also contributed to a range of lively panel discussions on luxury hospitality trends with other industry leaders. During these opportunities she spoke about how Diversey Care’s key innovations and expertise are at the forefront of delivering the experience of sustainable luxurious living in the hospitality sector.
Reflecting on the event, Dr. Kadri, said: “Sustainability is a key initiative for many hoteliers. It is crucial in increasing brand protection and guest satisfaction, and will continue to be an important part of running a successful organisation. We celebrate our continuing partnership with the EHMA, which, through our ‘EHMA Sustainability Award by Diversey Care’ award, has allowed us to promote and support those within the hospitality industry who are creating inspiring programmes that support the environment, and which are driving all of us toward a brighter future.”
